I don't get it

It means they're trying to take the edge off the hard athiest connotation. If you tell someone you're an athiest (especially down here in the South), you might as well tell them you bite the heads off of chickens as you dance around a sacrad fire chanting praise to Lucifer. If you say you're spiritual, then you glance at the fire while saying devil under your breath and nudging past the chicken.

I firmly believe that there is an Ultimate Super Power behind the creation, growth, and functioning of this Cosmos. Thinkers of the past have called it God, Ishwar, Parameshwar, Allah, Nature, Bramha and the like. It is all powerful, always present in the form of energy and physical laws such as gravity, electromagnetic field, electrons, atoms etc. makes no mistakes, does not violate any physical law. It is not an individual, who can be pleased or not pleased by worship and prayers or no worship and no prayers. It does not favor anybody or gets angry with anybody, It does not give anything to anybody or takes away anything from anybody. The concept of God exists only in the human brain and not in the brain of any of the life forms on this planet Earth. Am I a spiritual atheist?

Spirituality doesn't have to be religious. Imagine an Atheist watching the sunrise and feeling at peace. That's possible, right?

A spiritual atheist would be someone who does not believe in god, but who still believes in the supernatural. Such as ghosts, spiritual healing, telepathy or other supernatural phenomena.

I don't believe in any kind of god, but I have good morals and act out of honesty. I even meditate when im really pissed off or when i really need to focus. I guess thats as close to an understanding I can explain.

You're right. It makes no sense
Come on people, "spiritual" has nothing to do with morals or ethics or peace when watching a sunrise. It's about having a SPIRIT

A person who doesn't believe in God, but still has a deep appreciation for the connections among people, the beauty of nature, love, etc.

A spiritual atheist is one who is an atheist but still believes in morals and ethics. Like they respect human life and stuff.
